Get your kids to learn about animals with this DIY paper plate craft activity

Make your animal-themed activities interesting and fun with these easy paper plate animals we have created. All these crafts are done with the help of the child. These can also be used for birthday party jungle theme decor, room decoration or finger puppets too.

Aim: – To create beautiful animals from the leftover paper plates lying in the house.

Fostering creativity won’t just increase your child’s chances of becoming the next Picasso. You’re also helping him develop mentally, socially, and emotionally. Creating art may boost young children’s ability to analyze and problem-solve in myriad ways. Most important perhaps, when kids feel good while they are creating, art helps boost self-confidence. And children who feel able to experiment and to make mistakes feel free to invent new ways of thinking, which extends well beyond the craft room.
